7 TV Actors/Actresses Who Asked To Be Killed Off A Show

One would think that most actors/actresses would be dead set against having their characters killed off a hit show, but that isn’t always the case. Sometimes they grow out of a character or want to move on to other projects, so they ask producers to get rid of their character. Here are 7 TV actors/actresses who did the unthinkable – they asked to be killed off a show:

7. Connie Britton – Nashville

It was Connie Britton who decided that she wanted to leave the hit show Nashville and have her character, Rayna James, be killed off. “It was something that had been percolating over time, and there were lots of different reasons behind it. But my priority was really making sure that the timing was right. My priority has always been Nashville. So when the show was moved to CMT and we got these great new showrunners – Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick – I was [confident] the show would be in a good place,” she told TV Line.

Raymond Cruz – who played Tuco on Breaking Bad – found the character really difficult to play, so he asked producers to kill Tuco: “I asked them to kill me. Honestly, I wasn’t looking forward to coming back and doing the part. [Laughs]. It’s really difficult to pull off. They were like, ‘We want you to come back and do eight more episodes.’ And I said, ‘No. I’ll do one more and that’s it. You guys have to kill me.’ They’re like, ‘We never heard of an actor that wanted to die.’ And I’m like, ‘You don’t understand. This part’s really hard.’”
